Extension talk:CampaignEvents

Hello, @IFried (WMF), I am translating meta:group=page-Event+Center/Registration/ja, and it mentions to utilize this extension for events. I wonder if we could arrange and have this instruction page for multiple languages. Would you care to teak it for translation please? Already nudged the original writer for courtesy reason.

Both organizers and participants will benefit a lot, as the workflow is very handy. Esp, AFAIK attending Hubs meetings, I see passionate users with 1,000- edit counts venture to initiate events, which surely help expand outreach toward 2030. If organizing events lowers the hurdle with brilliant extensions, we'd better offer them in English and optimized to as much languages as we could. If translation is done/underway, Grants proposal will also be much easier, as an organizer is assured that the workflow holds strong backup by those well maintained extensions. wow.

Maybe I am dreaming too much? (: --

Hey there, yes, the extension page should definitely be translatable! The reason why it's not already translatable is that it was mostly a WIP, since many things were still being changed. I think it's now stable enough that it could be translated.

@Omotecho I just added translate tags to this page; thanks for pointing this out and for working on the translation of our user guide on Meta-Wiki! Also, I wanted to express gratitude and excitement regarding your second comment ("Both organizers and participants will benefit a lot..."). Our team hopes to make it easier to organize impactful events within the Wikimedia movement (whether it's for edit-a-thons, hub meetings, etc), and we completely agree that the tools & their documentation should be usable across the languages supported by the wikis. Thank you again!

The infobox description says "Provides features for campaign organizers and participants", but it's not 100% clear what a campaign is. Consider adding a word or two to make it more clear.

Also, examples of the features, e.g. "such as X, Y, and Z" might be good.

Hello, @Novem Linguae! I'm the product manager for the Campaigns team that developed the tool. Great question, and apologies for any confusion! In this context, campaigns means events that summon people to contribute to the wikis. However, we are also broadly building tools that can be used for many event types, such as edit-a-thons, meetups, etc. For a more detailed explanation of the tool and how to use it, we recommend you check out our User Guide on Meta-Wiki. We will also look into how we can add more clarity to the documentation on Mediawiki.org. Thank you!
